The Benefits of Exercise

Here are several awesome benefits that come with regular exercise:

• You’ll lose weight. Cardiovascular (or aerobic) exercise is what is going to help you burn fat and make the pounds peel off.
• Weight training will help shape your body. Building your muscle will give you the tight and toned body you always wanted.
• For every pound of muscle you gain, you burn calories, even when you are sleeping.
• The more you exercise, the more your metabolism will increase. This also helps your body burn more calories.
• Exercise boosts your immune system, helping you fight off sickness and even serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. It also reduces high blood
pressure.
• Exercise reduces stress. This is my favorite. When you exercise, various brain chemicals are released that make you feel relaxed. I feel so much better when I work
out than if I don’t. Even something as simple as walking will help to clear your mind and put you in a more positive mindset.
• Exercise does wonders for your cardiovascular system. It helps keep the blood circulating through your heart and lungs, and when your heart and lungs work more
efficiently, you have more energy.
• Exercise improves your sleep. Getting enough sleep, about seven to eight hours a night, is important to good health. Research has shown that exercising helps you
sleep better.
